    Every attempt at dissuading me only makes the fun of the challenge more enticing.

    None of this matters as I have no work experience–only hobby crafting.
    My point is that there will always be people willing to try and the more you tell us “you don’t want to” the more us not so privileged with work-experience continue dreaming with deeper allure

      Oh, I’m not trying to talk you out of it, I’m just making sure that you see all sides of the scenario.

      I looked at some of the Y2K patches, I don’t strictly know cobol either , but it’s not that hard to read.

      You’d think that code lying around would be refined as they had limits on space and everything was so mature. It’s still pretty trashy :)
